Mang Shusheng's Ink Painting Practice

Chapter 188 Sword Sect
Zhao Yifu drew his knife... No, strictly speaking, he drew his sword.

Originally, the killing knife had a straight blade, like a single-edged sword.

He danced with the killing knife, and then infused it with pure yang fire, causing the yang iron core inside to reveal its true appearance.

The next moment, the originally evil magic knife revealed its righteous appearance and became a pure yang magic sword.

Then Zhao Yi Fu performed a move with the Pure Yang Sword and unleashed the Fire Dragon Sword passed down to him by his master!

A fire dragon rose into the air with its fangs bared and its claws bared, but because its power was restrained, it did not cause any damage to the surrounding environment.

If you look closely at the core of this fire dragon made of pure yang fire, you can discover the mystery of swordsmanship contained within it.

This is actually a sword light, and the sword is as fast as a dragon!

In fact, Zhao Yifu himself didn't know how to evolve the sword light into this form. He just practiced it according to the teachings of his ancestors.

But just this kind of drill was enough to make the five Sword Sect disciples stare in amazement.

This is because the Fire Dragon Sword is a recorded inheritance of the Pure Yang Sword Sect, and it can even be said to have its own unique legendary story.

Huigu also knew this legendary story. Her eyes lit up as she said, "According to ancient legends, the founder was originally just an unsuccessful scholar. He passed the imperial examination and became a minor official, but was never promoted."

"Later, he simply resigned from his official position and retired to travel the world. He eventually met a senior master named 'Fire Dragon Immortal', who taught him the ways of inner alchemy and the secrets of swordsmanship."

"Later, when the master's swordsmanship reached its peak, he recalled his experience of learning swordsmanship and condensed the swordsmanship taught by True Man Huolong into the 'Fire Dragon Divine Sword'."

Zhao Yifu nodded and said, "Just watch carefully. If anyone can learn it, I'm sure the Grandmaster will be very happy."

As he said this, he demonstrated it on the spot without hesitation. The sword moved with the moves, and the fire dragon danced along with the sword.

He practiced the moves of the 'Fire Dragon Sword' in a very intuitive way. To demonstrate the effect, he unknowingly killed both shamans with one sword.

The two shamans didn't make even a sound and were vaporized directly, leaving nothing behind.

The Black and White Impermanence did not dare to say a word and quietly returned to the underworld with the dead souls.

I dare not disturb you.

When they saw the fire dragon with surging fire power, they realized that Zhao Yifu's future would be limitless.

It would be fine if such a person did not go to heaven. If he did, he would definitely rely on a big tree to soar to the sky, which is incomparable to ghosts and gods in the underworld like them.

Even if Zhao Yifu failed to go to heaven, he would have to go to hell.

Don't forget that he already has an identity in the underworld, so that must have been the starting point of Yin Shuai's position as a ghost or god!
The Black and White Impermanence left quietly.

No one even noticed that when Zhao Yi Fu started dancing with the sword, all the distractions around him disappeared, leaving him alone dancing.

The Sword Sect disciples were fascinated by what they saw, but they were just obsessed and couldn't grasp the key.

On the contrary, Huigu suddenly realized, and her starry eyes were shining, as if many insights were forming.

She entered a state of enlightenment... well, it was normal for her to have a sudden realization given her talent.

Zhao Yi Fu had already stopped, and the five disciples of the Sword Sect looked lost, as if they understood something but also understood nothing.

But Huigu sat cross-legged, completely oblivious to everything else.

Zhao Yifu simply waved his sleeves to collect it, then said to the Sword Sect disciples, "How much can you understand?"

The Sword Sect disciples nodded one after another: "Thank you for your guidance, Junior Brother. We have learned something."

Zhao Yifu was surprised. He thought these people wouldn't have much understanding.

He looked at Wutong Villa not far away and found that it was covered by a huge formation that was obviously full of mistakes.

Simply ask: "What have you realized?"

The five Sword Sect disciples looked at each other, and then spontaneously practiced their sword techniques together.

He didn't expect that he would be so clumsy in speaking.

But it was the same when watching them practice; he could also see the secrets of their respective sword techniques.

What he didn't expect was that the swordsmanship of these sword sect disciples actually had very strong personal styles.

They were obviously very dull when they acted outside, but everything was different when they danced with swords.

Zhao Yifu saw their very rich "language". They seemed to have hidden everything in their swords and were very happy to express themselves.

This scene amazed Zhao Yifu.

He suddenly understood what was going on with these disciples of the Sword Sect.

They simply put all their thoughts on their swords.

In comparison, their bodies seemed like empty puppets...

Zhao Yifu watched silently as they completed their sword dance, and suddenly he turned from a nimble sword into a dull man.

Do they have any insights into the 'Fire Dragon Sword'?

Zhao Yifu felt that there was, the joy in their swords made it clear.

Zhao Yifu seemed to understand vaguely how to talk to them.

Suddenly he stretched out his hand and took out the emerald green bamboo stick, shook his wrist and made a sword gesture to indicate 'received'.

Just by seeing this sword technique, the five Sword Sect disciples all showed expressions of joy, and even felt a sense of relaxation that they had never felt before.

Just a sword technique made them accept Zhao Yifu in their hearts and regard him as one of their own kind.

In fact, how could they be the same kind? Zhao Yifu just found a little trick to communicate with them.

Zhao Yifu thought about it and simply demonstrated a set of sword techniques. He told them haltingly that they could go and comprehend it on their own first, and he would stay here to watch over the situation.

The five disciples of the Sword Sect responded one after another. Then, the ordinary-looking and stern-faced Sword Sect elder sister suddenly smiled and said to him, "Actually, Junior Brother, you can talk to us normally. It's tiring to keep using sword techniques."

The others also laughed out loud when they heard it.

Zhao Yifu immediately felt embarrassed that they were making fun of him.

But what can I say, at least I have really relaxed.

Zhao Yifu glared at them unhappily and said, "Hurry up and find a place to comprehend it. If necessary, I can show you."

The five disciples of the Sword Sect all clasped their fists towards Zhao Yi Fu, and then rode their sword lights together to the rear.

They really need to comprehend it carefully.

The founder's Fire Dragon Sword seemed to have unlocked a secret of the sword arts they had previously learned, benefiting them greatly.

But in comparison, it was Huigu who really gained a lot.

Huigu herself inherited the True Dao heritage, and was familiar with swordsmanship and alchemy. However, she still could not integrate into the atmosphere of the Danqing Sect in terms of literature.

But this is enough to reflect her talent.

Zhao Yifu's unreserved practice just now really made her understand a lot.

Zhao Yifu probed his mind into his sleeves, hoping that Huigu could suddenly realize something.

Then, he discovered that Huigu was not contemplating the sword art at all, but was staring blankly at a desk in his sleeve.

Zhao Yifu panicked when he saw this, almost hiding his head inside his sleeves, and shouted, "Xiaohui, what are you doing? Aren't you trying to comprehend the Fire Dragon Sword?"

Without even looking up, Hui Gu said, "The Fire Dragon Sword is truly miraculous. My instantaneous enlightenment is already remarkable. By comparison..." She pointed to a scroll spread out on the desk and said, "I finally understand why you were so disturbed earlier."

The scroll vividly depicted a scene: before a swamp of mud washed by a torrent, a refined and handsome scholar, like a white lotus emerging from the mud, gracefully bowed. A speech bubble appeared beside him: [Thank you.]

Beside him, a maidservant, whose image only showed the back of her head and half her body, had a speech bubble: [Young Master's counterattack, such a magical skill is unheard of, it's too powerful!]

In the blank space outside the screen, lines of text continued to appear: [Great job, little Taoist priest, well done! Kill a few more shamans in the North Country, and I'll give you a reward when you come back!]

Zhao Yifu's face froze in his sleeves. He said, "I have no choice about this."

Hui Gu pointed to her chest and said, "Master, Xiao Hui feels very disappointed now. It's okay for you to brag to that person, but am I not even worthy of having a decent face?"

Zhao Yifu's scalp tingled, but he quickly came up with an excuse: "Xiaohui, what are you talking about? I won't let your face appear in front of that man. He is the most bastard scumbag in the world. When he sees a beautiful woman, he just wants to sleep with her."

Hui Gu spat after hearing this and said, "How can someone be so exaggerated? Could it be that he is the emperor with 3,000 beauties in his harem?"

Zhao Yifu: "..."

Huigu: “!!!”

She turned her head again and looked at the text over there who was still shouting and asking for a 'reward', and suddenly she realized something.

She said, "Are you getting involved with the emperor again?"

"No, wasn't the lesson your uncle Yuanxiu taught you last time, a lesson he will forever be infamous for, enough?"

Huigu was a little anxious, and she didn't know why she was anxious.

Zhao Yifu said awkwardly, "There's nothing we can do. The Sect Leader doesn't understand, so we can only do our best."

Huigu could understand what she heard, and then sighed helplessly: "I just hope your ending won't be like last time..."

Zhao Yifu shook his head and said, "No, last time we didn't even know how the enemy would fight against us. This time it's different."

He was very sure about this.

Because the last defeat was so confusing, now at least we understand why we lost, and we have also cut off the opponent's advantage at the root.

At least now, they can fight on equal terms.

Hui Gu pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then decided not to dwell on it any further. She changed the subject and said, "It looks like no one is coming."

Zhao Yifu said, "That Dark Wizard must have escaped. So the attack shouldn't have killed him."

Hui Gu said, "Will he bring anyone else with him?"

Zhao Yifu thought about it, then suddenly smiled and said, "That's okay. By the time the people get here, they'll have had enough fun... Let's go see them."

……

This night was extremely long for the people in Wutong Villa.

They all slept soundly, as if they had experienced a very long life in their dreams.

A common scenario is that they return home after a tough battle, then meet a woman with whom they can spend their lives, and they live together peacefully until old age.

Then some unexpected things happened. They competed with their comrades for a woman, which caused chaos and made them unable to have peace for the rest of their lives.

Even more bizarre is that some people have discovered that they have such a tacit understanding and close relationship with the person they can trust...

This is the emotional aspect.

In terms of wealth, they often relied on war and looting to gain astonishing wealth, and after returning to the countryside, they began to enjoy a life of luxury and debauchery.

Some of them became drunkards, some became addicted to gambling, and some squandered their fortunes in brothels.

In short, in order to make them lose their original firm fighting will, the bastards of the Chivalrous Alliance quickly found the right angle: desire.

Zhao Yifu had a general understanding of these illusions, and suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He couldn't help but look up at the sky... What he saw was not the sky or the heaven, but the devil's empty world.

He seemed to feel Mara's joy.

My goodness, what’s the difference between these people and the devil who wreaks havoc on people’s hearts?
It's really a chaos of demons.

He asked, "What about the princess? What program have you arranged for her?"

Someone nearby answered, "The princess has a lot more to offer. We've tried all kinds of men on her, fat or thin."

Zhao Yifu said in astonishment: "What? Isn't this a bit too shameless?"

Someone else said, "Shameless? No, we just want her to know what an ordinary woman will become in troubled times."

Zhao Yifu shook his head. These people are really...

Never mind, they are enemies anyway.

It's just a dream anyway.

Thinking this, Zhao Yi Fu walked towards Wutong Villa.

Everyone thought he just wanted to play, so they didn't say anything.

Hui Gu asked unexpectedly, "Are you going to play with these mortals too?"

Zhao Yifu asked in return: "Can't I?"

Huigu said, "Of course you can, but I don't think you would do such a thing."

In her mind, it seemed that Zhao Yifu would at most kill all these people, but he would not be interested in playing with them.

Zhao Yifu laughed heartily, then walked into the villa's warehouse. He waved his sleeves and said, "Everyone, bring out all the weapons and armor here!"

Indeed, he had no interest in toying with mortals; he just wanted to rob them.

He had no shortage of money, but he lacked weapons and armor.

Next he will serve in a border county, so he must have a reliable armed force.

There is a general to command the troops, and that is Yang Zaixuan.

He also had soldiers. Among the thousand people in Fenglin County who had followed him to fight, seven hundred were willing to follow him.

But there is a lack of armor and weapons.

Before, when dealing with the rebels, he could just pick up a knife and attack them, but now he wanted
This place has everything.

The cats jumped out of his sleeves one after another and started to get busy.

Hui Gu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Now I'm beginning to believe that you can win this time."

Zhao Yifu asked with a smile, "Why do you think so?"

Hui Gu said, "At least, as the successor of Danqing Sect, you can humble yourself and be down-to-earth."

Zhao Yifu said, "That can't be helped. I might just end up in the countryside and never be able to be an official in the capital."

He had already sensed that everyone seemed to be quite opposed to him going to the center.

Hui Gu covered her mouth and smiled: "It's okay, it's just right here."

She pointed to the Qianli painting, and her meaning was very clear: if he maintained this kind of contact with the emperor, he might be able to play a greater role in the local area.
